SpectraSyn Elite 65 mPAO is the industry’s first 65 cSt mPAO grade and
the second grade in the SpectraSyn Elite family, launched in 2010.
Samples are immediately available with commercial quantities available
for global supply in 4Q12.

With its improved viscosity index, SpectraSyn Elite 65 provides
lubricant manufacturers with greater versatility to achieve
low-temperature specifications than they can with a conventional
high-viscosity (Hi-Vis) mid-range PAO. “We designed SpectraSyn Elite 65
to allow formulators to maximize the value of the improved viscosity
index. We view it as an opportunity to expand the viscosity grades that
can be achieved with a Hi-Vis base stock,” said Carolyn Moore, marketing
manager of ExxonMobil Chemical’s global Synthetics Business.

“Our introduction of this new SpectraSyn Elite grade further reinforces
ExxonMobil Chemical’s technology leadership and commitment to providing
formulators with a wide range of advanced synthetic base stocks,” said
Chris Birdsall, vice president of the company’s global Synthetics
Business. “That commitment includes the previously announced
construction of a world-scale plant in Baytown, Texas, to produce up to
50,000 tons per year of SpectraSyn Elite mPAO base stocks. Project work
on that plant began in 2011 and is on schedule for a 2013 completion.”
